This hymnal was prepared for parishes re-introducing Gregorian chant where there was a preference for a modified standard notation. It does not include the ICEL new English translations because they were not available at the time. The authors grant permission and encourage use (i.e., copying, printing, distribution at cost) of all or part of this hymnal.

To facilitate congregational participation in the Latin Mass, this booklet has been assembled to include:

o The Order of the Mass in Latin (with explanations and literal translations in English) [Only the Ordinary (the unchanging part) of the Mass is included; the Latin Propers (those prayers which change according to the day upon which the Mass is celebrated) are contained in the Liber Usualis and the Gregorian Missal.]

o Chant in modified standard notation within the Order of the Mass.

o Hymns in both standard modified notation and Gregorian notation, along with guides to Latin pronunciation and Gregorian notation.

o Literal translations directly below the music text to aid in translating/understanding the Latin.

The musical settings for the modified standard notation may be found in chant notation within the Liber Cantualis (Solesmes, 1978), the Gregorian Missal (Solesmes, 1990), and the Liber Usualis (Solesmes, 1963). The Liber Cantualis references are located at the top right of the standard notation settings of this booklet. The literal translations of the Latin Mass Ordinaries are taken from Understanding the Latin Mass (Marion Smedberg, 2006) and are used with permission. Recordings on compact disc of the parts of the Mass which are chanted by the congregation are available by request.

Introduction

Did the Catholic Church do away with Latin in the Mass with the changes that occurred during the Second Vatican Council? There are many who think that the use of English in the Mass not only replaced Latin, but that the use of Latin is also forbidden. This could not be farther from the truth. The fact is that the Document on Sacred Liturgy written during the Council (Sacrosanctum Concilium) advocates the celebration of the Mass in Latin. Indeed, the Second Vatican Council Fathers insisted that the use of the Latin language be preserved in the Latin Rites (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 36). Even as he convened the Council, Blessed John XXIII insisted on using Latin in the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy (the Mass). The Document on the Sacred Liturgy requires that pastors, among others, should enable the faithful to say or sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass belonging to them, e.g., the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Pater Noster, and Agnus Dei (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 54). This same document praises the singing of Gregorian Chant by asserting that the Church acknowledges Gregorian Chant as proper to the Mass of the Roman Rite. All things being equal, chant should be given a pride of place in liturgical services (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 116). Pope John Paul II, of pious memory, promoted this, as Pope Benedict XVI does today. In fact, our Holy Father, Pope Benedict, has stressed this point in his many talks on the Sacred Liturgy. While upholding the use of Latin in the Novus Ordo (the new rite promulgated by Paul VI in 1970), he instituted the Tridentine Mass as an extraordinary rite, showing that Latin is still the language of holy Mother Church. One question  is  frequently asked,  i.e.,  “Why should we pray the Mass in Latin when we cannot understand what we are saying?”   The use of  the vernacular in the Mass (for us, the use of English), when it correctly translates the Latin text, has helped many to understand what the Latin expresses. Yet we must be careful not to reduce worship to comprehensible words. Cardinal Frances Arinze, who gave the keynote

address at Gateway Liturgical Conference (St. Louis, Missouri, November 11, 2006) reminds us, “Indeed, we can say that the most important thing in divine worship is not that we understand every word or concept. No. The most important consideration is that we stand in reverence and awe before God, that we adore, praise, and thank Him. The sacred, the things of God, are best approached with sandals off.”   We offer Mass in Latin because many prefer the original language of the Church, feel that it enhances their prayer, and desire to continue our rich Church traditions.  As St. Paul says “I will pray in a tongue, but I will also pray with the understanding” (1 Cor. 14:14-15). Chant is sung prayer that enhances understanding. Current publications (missals and hymnals) are limiting within the Latin Mass setting. For this reason, we created this Latin hymnal with English translations to better facilitate congregational participation. It is my prayer that we here at St. Peter’s parish will learn how to worship the one triune God with one voice in Latin, the mother tongue of the Church.

Preface

“He who sings prays twice” - St. Augustine

“The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art. The main reason for this pre-eminence is that, as a combination of sacred music and words, it forms a necessary and integral part of solemn liturgy.” - The Catechism of the Catholic Church (1156) St. Gregory the Great believed that the purpose of music is to remind us of the Divine and Perfect Beauty of God, and to inspire divine thoughts within us. The style of Gregorian chant emphasizes this ideal through the beautiful melodic expression of the traditional Latin prayers of the Church. Gregorian chant is sung prayer. The Second Vatican Council’s statement on sacred music, De Musica, from the liturgical constitution, Sacrosanctum Concilium, states that Gregorian chant is “specifically suited to the Roman Liturgy,” and “should be given pride of place in liturgical services” (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 116). The gentle, flowing, highly expressive, and sometimes poignant melodies of Gregorian chant have an intrinsic spiritual quality. In keeping with the solemn character of the Mass, Gregorian chant echoes in sound the wafting curls of incense or the diffused light from a stained glass window. In this way, all our senses are drawn upwards to Heaven, in contemplation of the Divine.

The Order of the Mass

The Mass is our personal encounter with God. It starts as a conversation between us and God. We hear God speak to us through the Liturgy of the Word. We respond to God’s word by professing our faith in the Creed and offering up our petitions. Then there is an exchange of gifts. “We offer to the Father what He has Himself given us: the gifts of creation, bread and wine which, by the power of the Holy Spirit and by the words of Christ, have become the Body and Blood of Christ” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1357). In the Eucharist, we receive the Father’s gift to us, His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

This may be followed by a suitable liturgical song.

Prayer Before a Crucifix

Behold, O kind and most sweet Jesus, I cast myself upon my knees in Thy sight, and with the most fervent desire of my soul I pray and beseech Thee that Thou wouldst impress upon my heart lively sentiments of Faith, Hope, and Charity, with true repentance for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment, whilst with deep affection and grief of soul I ponder within myself and mentally contemplate Thy five most precious Wounds; having before my eyes the words which David in prophecy spoke concerning Thyself, O good Jesus: “They have pierced my hands and feet; they have numbered all my bones.”

After Mass

Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas

Lord, Father all-powerful and ever-living God, I thank you, for even though I am a sinner, your unprofitable servant, not because of my worth but in kindness of Your mercy, You have fed me with the precious Body and Blood of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that this Holy Communion may not bring me condemnation and punishment but forgiveness and salvation. May it be a helmet of faith and a shield of good will. May it purify me from evil ways and put an end to my evil passions. May it bring me charity and patience, humility and obedience, and growth in the power to do good. May it bring me strong defense against all my enemies, visible and invisible, and the perfect calming of all my evil impulses, bodily and spiritual. May it unite me more closely to You, the One True God, and lead me safely through death to everlasting happiness with You. And I pray that You will lead me, a sinner, to the banquet where You, with Your Son and Holy Spirit, are True and Perfect Light, Total Fulfillment, Everlasting Joy, Gladness without end, and Perfect Happiness to Your saints. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayers

Before Mass

Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas

Almighty and ever-living God, I approach the sacrament of

Your Only-Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I come sick to the doctor of life,

unclean to the fountain of mercy, blind to the radiance of eternal light,

and poor and needy to the Lord of Heaven and earth. Lord, in your generosity, heal my sickness, wash away my defilement, enlighten my blindness, enrich my poverty, and clothe my nakedness. May I receive the bread of angels, the King of kings and Lord of lords, with humble reverence, with the purity and faith, the repentance and love, and the determined purpose that will help to bring me salvation. May I receive the sacrament of the Lord’s Body and Blood, and its reality and power. Kind God, may I receive the body of Your Only-Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, born from the womb of the Virgin Mary, and so be received into His Mystical Body and numbered among His Members. Loving Father, as on my earthly pilgrimage I now receive Your Beloved Son under the veil of a sacrament, may I one day see Him face to face in glory, Who lives and reigns with You forever and ever. Amen.

Te Deum [Praise] This hymn, though attributed by tradition to St. Ambrose, is now known to be of older origin, possibly the work of Nicetas. This Trinitarian song of praise is used at the end of the Office of Readings [formerly called Matins] on any day on which the Gloria is sung at Mass. It is also sung in times of special celebration [the election of a pope, canonization of a saint, profession of a religious, consecration of a bishop, etc.].

25

The celebrant sings or says the Preface proper to the given Mass; then all join in the acclamation Sanctus.

Sanctus We join the saints and angels in Heaven in unending praise.

Cantate Domino [Praise] The antiphon is from Isaiah 42:10; the verses are the complete Psalm 150, the last of the three Laudate psalms (148, 149, and 150) from which the office of Lauds takes its name. The Cantate Domino is used after benediction, sung directly after the Divine Praises. It has been largely replaced by the hymn Holy God We Praise Thy Name.

Therefore, we, bending low, ask you, most merciful Father, through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, and we seek that you might hold as acceptable and bless these gifts, these offerings, these holy undiminished sacrifices which we, in the first place, offer to you for your holy Catholic Church: which you see fit to grant peace, to guard, to unify, and to rule, in the whole world: together with your servant, our Pope N., and our Bishop N., and all orthodox worshipers of the catholic and apostolic faith. Be mindful, O Lord, of your servants N. & N. and of all standing here, whose faith and well-known devotion is known to you, for whom we offer to you or who offer to you this sacrifice of praise for themselves and all their [people]: for the redemption of their souls, for the hope of their salvation and well-being: and [who] render to you, the eternal and living God, their prayers.

Ánima Christi [Eucharist] The Ánima Christi has never been in liturgical use in the Church, but is popular as a thanksgiving after communion. The text dates to the first half of the 14th century, and its recitation was richly indulgenced by Pope John XXII in 1330.

Qui, prídie quam paterétur, ac-cépit panem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas, et elevátis óculis in caelum ad te Deum Patrem suum omnipo-téntem, tibi grátias agens, be-nedíxit, fregit, dedítque discí-pulis suis, dicens: “Accípite et manducáte ex hoc omnes: Hoc est enim

that it may become for us the Body and Blood of your most beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Who the day before he suffered took bread into his holy and venerable hands, and his eyes having been lifted up to heaven to you God, his almighty Father, giving thanks to you, he blessed [it], broke [it], and gave [it] to his disciples, saying: "Take and eat from this, all [of] you. For this is my Body, which will be handed over for you." In a similar manner, after it was eaten, picking up also this splendid chalice into his holy and venerable hands, likewise giving thanks to you, he blessed [it] and gave [it] to his disciples, saying: "Take and drink from this, all [of] you. For this is the cup of my Blood, of the new and eternal covenant, which for you and for many will be poured out for the remission of sins. Do this in my memory."

Wherefore, O Lord, we your servants and your holy people, mindful of the so blessed passion of the same Christ, your Son, our Lord, as well as also of [his] resurrection from the lower regions, but also of [his] glorious ascension into the heavens, [we] offer to your splendid majesty, from your gifts and from the things given [to us], a pure victim, a holy victim, an immaculate victim, the holy Bread of eternal life and the Cup of perpetual salvation.

Ave verum Corpus [Eucharist] This Eucharistic hymn is based on a poem attributed to Pope Innocent VI, deriving from a 14th-century manuscript from the Abbey of Reichenau, Lake Constance. Sung at the elevation during the Middle Ages, it is now standardly used for benediction.

Ipsis, Dómine, et ómnibus in Christo quiescéntibus, locum refrigérii, lucis et pacis, ut indúlgeas, deprecámur. (Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.)

Upon which, may you see fit to look with a merciful and serene countenance and to hold as acceptable, as a holy sacrifice, an unspotted victim, as you saw fit to hold as acceptable the offerings of your just servant Abel, and the sacrifice of our patriarch Abraham, and that which your high priest Melchisedech offered to you. On bended knee, we ask you, omnipotent God: order that these things be carried through the hands of your holy Angel to your altar on high in the sight of your divine majesty, so that, we however many, [who] have taken the sacrosanct Body and Blood of your Son from this participation of the altar, may be filled with all celestial blessing and grace. (Through Christ our Lord. Amen.) Be mindful also, O Lord, of your servants (N. and N.) who have preceded us with the sign of faith and [who] sleep in the sleep of peace. To them themselves, Lord, and to all resting in Christ, we pray that you might grant them a place of consolation, of light, and of peace. (Through Christ our Lord. Amen)

Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Per quem hæc ómnia, Dómine, semper bona creas; sanctíficas, vivíficas, benedícis, et præstas nobis.

Also to us sinners, your hopeful servants, may you see fit to grant from the multitude of your mercies some part and fellowship with your holy Apostles and Martyrs: with John the Baptist, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, (Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia) and all your saints: among whose fellowship admit us, we beseech [you], not as one who appraises of merit, but as one who grants of grace. Through Christ our Lord. Through whom, O Lord, you give us all these good things; you always create, and make them holy, and give them life.

Eucharistic Prayer III Priest: Vere Sanctus es, Dómi-ne, et mérito te laudat omnis a te cóndita creatúra, quia per Fílium tuum, Dóminum no-strum Jesum Christum, Spíritus Sancti operánte virtúte, viví-ficas et sanctíficas univérsa, et pópulum tibi congregáre non désinis, ut a solis ortu usque ad occásum oblátio munda of-ferátur nómini tuo.

You are truly holy, Lord, and rightly every creature preserved by you praises you, because through your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, by the operant power of the Holy Spirit, you make all things live and you make them holy, and you do not cease to gather together the people to you, so that from the rising of the sun to its setting, a pure offering may be offered to your name. On bended knee, therefore, we pray you, Lord, that you might see fit to sanctify these offerings which we have brought to you to be made holy, so that they may become the Body and Blood of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, at whose command we celebrate these mysteries. For He himself on that night in which he was handed over, he took bread and giving thanks to you, he blessed [it], broke [it], and gave [it] to his disciples, saying:

"Take and eat from this, all [of] you. For this is my Body, which will be handed over for you."

O Salutáris Hóstia [Eucharist] One of the many Eucharistic hymns from the Mass for Corpus Christi composed by St. Thomas Aquinas, O Salutáris Hóstia takes its text from the longer Verbum Supérnum Pródiens. An alternative version in chant notation appears on the facing page.

35

Mémores ígitur, Dómine, ejús-dem Fílii tui salutíferæ pas-siónis necnon mirábilis resur-rectiónis et ascensiónis in cælum, sed et præstolántes álterum ejus advéntum, offéri-mus tibi, grátias referéntes, hoc sacrifícium vivum et sanctum.

Réspice, quæ sumus, in oblati-ónem Ecclésiæ tuæ et, agnó-scens Hóstiam, cujus voluísti immolatióne placári, concéde, ut qui Córpore et Sánguine Fílii tui refícimur, Spíritu ejus Sancto repléti, unum corpus et unus spíritus inveniámur in Christo.

Ipse nos tibi perfíciat munus ætérnum, ut cum eléctis tuis hereditátem cónsequi valeá-mus, in primis cum beatíssima Vírgine, Dei Genetríce María, cum beátis Apóstolis tuis et gloriósis Martýribus (cum sancto N.) et ómnibus Sanctis, quorum intercessióne perpétuo apud te confídimus adjuvári. Hæc Hóstia nostræ reconcili-atiónis profíciat, quæ sumus, Dómine, ad totíus mundi pa-cem atque salútem. Ecclésiam

Mindful therefore, Lord, of the saving passion, as well as of the marvelous resurrection and ascension into heaven of your same Son, but also expecting his second coming, we, returning thanks to you, offer this living and holy sacrifice. Look, we beseech, on the offering of your Church and, recognizing the Victim by whose sacrifice you wished to be appeased, grant that we who are restored by the Body and Blood of your Son may become one body and one spirit in Christ. May He himself make us an everlasting offering to you so that with your chosen one we may be able to obtain [your] inheritance, in the first place with the most Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, and with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs, (with Saint N.) and all the Saints, by whose perpetual intercession before you we are confident to be helped.
